    No longer a fan

    I have watched Conan for years and think it may be time for him to mature a little. I prefer David Letterman now. Oh well, that is why we have different hosts for different programs! I don't dislike Conan, just a bit disappointed in his unwillingness to grow up.

    I love Conan, he reminds me of old fashioned slap stick, The Three Stooges, Laural & Hardy. It's suppose to be over the top and funny, pies in the face are so funny. John Ritter and Lucy were others who did that type of humor.

    Not trying to be rude, but Conan and John Ritter and Lucy shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath! They were artists.

    All a matter of personal taste. I like all of them; they're all unique and funny in their own way. Craig Ferguson, too.
    Blessings,

    I can never stay awake long enough to watch any of them, so I can't say one way or another.
    However, Jimmy Kimmel really gets on my nerves from what I've seen of him. If Conan is as "funny" as he is, then I'm not missing much.

    Conan is the better educated and most likely the more intellegent. What is funny is a matter of taste. I like silly, becaused I am. I am also 50 not too young or too old. I remember Lucy and Laurel and Hardy and Larry, Curly and Moe too. Love Carol Burnett and Tracy Ullman. I also like new and young and hip which Conan is.

    O'Brien attended Brookline High School, where he served as managing editor of the school newspaper.[6] After graduating as valedictorian in 1981, he entered Harvard University.[7]
    At Harvard, O'Brien lived in Holworthy Hall during his freshman year,[8] and Mather House during his three upper-class years. He graduated magna cum laude in 1985 with an A.B. in History and Literature.[9] His senior thesis concerned the use of children as symbols in the works of William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor.[10]
    Throughout college, O'Brien was a writer for the Harvard Lampoon humor magazine. During his sophomore and junior years, he served as the Lampoon's president.[6]

    I really miss Jay Leno. I do my computer stuff when he's on so I decided to give Conan a try. He's OK. I prefer him to Letterman any day. Watching Jimmy Kimmel reminds me of my mom. I was shocked when she told ME about his show and that he makes her laugh hysterically! Ya just never know, do ya? I'm a real Kimmel fan. I love his humor. He's as quick as a whip.



    I've been Boooo'd!

  11. Once upon a time I was a big Letterman fan. Today...IF I could stay up that late I would watch Jon Stewart's The Daily Show and The Colbert Show....now those guys are usually (not always...) VERY funny!

    I do try and watch the reruns the next day....

    My order is:

    Jon Stewart
    Craig Ferguson
    David Letterman
    Conan O'Brien

    and the rest I can do without. Kimel irritates me. I thought Jay was a bit of a sell out. Haven't really seen Jimmy Fallon. I'm warming up to Cobert.
